Canis Latinicus	comment	Tropus descriptus qui. In a show rife with magic users or scientific terminology (or magical users of scientific terminology), Latin is the gear of choice. It's exotic-sounding, it has a word for almost everything, it contributed a good portion of the English vocabulary,note Indirectly anyway, via Norman French and it's fairly well-known. With Latin by your side, you can spout off any string of awesomeness you want, and easily throw in a few less-than-Latin bits. But what happens when you run out of Latin? Or if your spell or radioactive Phlebotinum has some attribute that you don't know how to name? Well, just make up some new Latin! It's easy: take an English word — any will do — drop any vowels from the end, and add -us, -icus, or -ium. If you're naming a town, use the extension -opolis (although the extension is actually Greek, not Latin, as real Latin would have you using the extension -ium or -ia). Ta-daa! Instant Latin! This corruption of Latin, as the trope name should indicate, is called "dog Latin." (Incidentally, the trope title is in fact real Latin...for "Latin-like dog." No, it doesn't make much sense, unless we take it as some sort of metonym, but that's rather the point. Plus, it sounds less like a porn actress than (Lingua) Latina Canina, which is how "Dog Latin" would sound in real Latin). Possibly the most well-known dog Latin phrase is "hocus pocus", a condensation of hoc est corpus meum ("this is my body"), which to common churchgoers receiving Mass would signify something mysterious and incomprehensible.note Maybe. This explanation dates to around the same time as the word first appears in print, but is speculative. Greek is often used interchangeably with Latin for such purposes (as in the -opolis example above); few writers bother to make a distinction. May be used in comedic versions of the Pretentious Latin Motto. Also comes in handy for Ominous Latin Chanting or a Parody Magic Spell. Sometimes a result of As Long as It Sounds Foreign. A subtrope of Gratuitous Foreign Language, and super-trope of Binomium ridiculus. Compare withe Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe. On'tday onfusecay ithway Igpay Atinlay. See also El Spanish "-o". When a show does this to a character's name, it's Dr. Genericius. Fictional illness names and prehistoric animals will often have names like this. Binomium ridiculus is a subtrope of this. ExamplÃ¦

Canis Latinicus / int_3b34143f	comment	Most of the spells in Harry Potter were (loosely) based on Latin ("Expelliarmus", "Wingardium Leviosa", etc.) Most of them sounded decent, but occasionally one more obvious would enter the mix, such as "Petrificus Totalus" — the Full Body Bind, or "Riddikulus", the spell to turn a Boggart into something hilarious. It's also used to give several characters punny names (Lupin the werewolf, Ludo the gaming official, etc). This becomes especially amusing in the audiobooks read by Stephen Fry, who actually knows Latin. It's funny to hear him giving real pronunciation to fake words. Interestingly, the way the spells are combined is familiar to anyone who knows what Latin/Greek roots are in English, but in Latin, they're gibberish. There is a Latin translation of at least the first two books, creating an untinetionally hilarious juxtaposition, as the spells are left as-is in the narrative while everything else is translated.

Canis Latinicus / int_41b0198a	comment	The eponymous wizard in The Dresden Files straight-up admits he's using quasi-Latin or pseudo-Latin, in so many words, with spells like "Fuego!" for fire (when he needed even more fire, we even got "Fuegoso! Pyrofuego!"), "Forzare!" for force and "Ventas servitas" for wind. They're his three favourite standby spells. The Faux-Latin words apparently are helpful foci for concentrating the energy that allows magic to happen. (Other wizards have been described as using Japanese, Sumerian, Greek, and Egyptian-based spell invocations in the books, but the exact words are not given.) In this particular case, it's important that he not use proper Latin words, because the words of a spell become inextricably bound with the use of magic in a wizard's mind — and while he wouldn't run the risk of accidentally casting spells when simply speaking Latinnote which is the lingua franca of the wizarding community), Harry says that words in foreign, unfamiliar languages provide a sort of insulation from the raw power of a spell for a wizard's mind. One time in Fool Moon he cast a spell when he couldn't speak: The spell worked fine, but he was badly disoriented for some time after. On top of that, his actual Latin is horrible. And if he learned it better, using actual Latin for spells would no longer work, as the buffer would no longer be provided. No one uses spells in real languages that they actually know, mostly to protect themselves from that backlash. In a short story, he once terrified someone by dramatically intoning, "Intimidatus dorkus maximus!" A flashback in one of the books provides a humorous spin on the concept. Young Harry had trouble casting a simple spell to light a candle, and would often cheat by using a cigarette lighter when his mentor Justin Dumorne wasn't looking. Eventually, Dumorne admonished Harry that he'd have to do it the right way because he wouldn't always be able to "flick his Bic."note An old advertising jingle for Bic lighters. Inspiration struck Harry, and he finally managed to light the candle with the incantation "Flickum Biccus", to Dumorne's amusement.

Canis Latinicus / int_45b21df3	comment	Monty Python's Life of Brian gives us another round of punny names, such as Biggus Dickus and his wife Incontinentia Buttocks. The trope as a whole, though, is parodied in the scene where a Roman centurion makes Brian painstakingly correct the grammar of his "Romans Go Home" graffiti. It is a perennial favorite among cool high-school Latin teachers (though he uses the term "locative" incorrectly). "Motion towards" technically isn't Locative, but it is only used by a handful of words that can also use Locative, so they are always taught together in the same chapter of Latin textbooks. His Exact Words were that "This is Motion Towards isn't it, boy?...Except that domus takes the..?" "The Locative, sir!" The general point that "Domus takes the Locative and therefore also uses Motion Towards" is entirely accurate. John Cleese himself taught Latin (albeit very briefly). The film is actually playing with the whole idea at this point because the ROMANS think these names sound absurd...

Canis Latinicus / int_468bebb0	comment	The Discworld novels are primarily set in or around Ankh-Morpork, where Latatian, or "very bad doggy Latin", was the former language. As a result, the books have so many examples it almost qualifies for its own sub-page. A favorite joke of Pratchett's is to present English expressions in Latin, where they make no sense literally. For starters, the city's mottos are: Quanti canicula ille in fenestra, or "How much is that doggie in the window," and Merus in pectum et in aquam, or "Pure in heart and water", for a city whose river is so polluted you could skateboard across it. The City Watch's motto is Fabricati Diem Pvnc, apparently an abbreviated form of a previous motto (Fabricati Diem, Pvncti Agvnt Celeriter — "make the day, the moments will pass quickly"), which LOOKS as though it means "make my day, punk", but doesn't - but one of the members is convinced it means "To Protect and Serve". This became a plot point in Feet of Clay, where the old-fashioned villain announced all of his plans through heraldry mottos that contained very bad Latin puns. If anyone on the Watch had been of a more punny disposition, they might have figured it out fifty pages in (Vetinari actually did, but he let the scheme go ahead anyway because it gave Vimes something to do). What tips Vimes off that the heraldry official was involved was that the actual poisoner's motto had the pun in plain English; when he translates it to Latin it's a pun on the type of poison. The motto of Lord Vetinari is "Sic non confectus, non reficiat" which is said to translate as "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."note The actual translation: "If it is not worn out by age, it is not, let him eat." Occult uses of Canis Latinicus include the Tome of Eldritch Lore Liber Paginarum Fulvarum, which translates as "The Book of Yellow Pages". The related Necrotelicomnicon comes from the same dictionary. note Literally, the Telephone Book of the Dead. The motto for Unseen University is Nunc id Vides, Nunc ne Vides, or "Now you see it, now you don't." The Fool's Guild has Dico, Dico, Dico, or "I say, I say, I say" — a classic stage performer's line. In Jingo, a character received an honorary degree from Unseen University entitled Doctorum Adamus cum Flabello Dulci. "Doctor of Sweet Fanny Adams", British slang for "fuck all". Possibly a reference to Private Eye's honorary degrees (see below). The wizards at the UU weren't especially happy about awarding an "honorary degree" to a Klatchian Prince, so they deliberately made up a fake name. As it turns out, the Prince is quite familiar with "Latatian," resulting in a rather awkward moment. "The Prince says it is Doctor of Sweet Fanny Adams. Oh, how we are laughing." Elsewhere in the same book, Vimes comes upon the remains of a statue of General Tacticus (an ancient Morporkian war hero, better at conquering than Alexander the Great), the plinth of which bears the motto "Ab hoc possum videre domum tuum," or "I can see your house from up here." This is noted to have been both a boast and a threat. The motto of the extended Death family is Non Timetis Messor. The literal translation is Have No Timidity Towards Him Who Gathers The Harvest, or in plain English, Don't Fear The Reaper. Pratchett took this as the motto on his own coat of arms when he was knighted (in proper Latin, "Noli Timere Messorem"). Now consider that he was suffering from a terminal illness... The Ecksian version of Unseen University has Nullus Anxietas ("No Worries") written over the front gates. Also "Nulli Sheilae sanguineae": No bloody Sheilas. Sir Terry used to sign copies of The Last Continent with Nullus Anxietas, and also B'Diem! ("bono diem" is Latin for "good day", although it wouldn't have been used as a greeting. "B'diem" is therefore Canis Latinicus for "G'day!") Lovable Coward Rincewind has, on separate occasions, been heard to exclaim "Stercus, stercus, stercus, moriturus sum" (Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, I am about to die!) and "Morituri Nolumus Mori" (we who are about to die, don't want to). Albert's "Sodomy non sapiens" ("buggered if I know") In a similar vein, Nanny Ogg translates her favorite Bawdy Song, for Casanunda's benefit, as "Il Porcupino Nil Sodomy Est" ("The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered"). Naturally, the full lyrics are never given. Quoting this stuff is, of course, a favorite pastime of the Lawyers Guild and by extension, its head Mr. Slant. Amusingly a lot of what he says sounds like complete nonsense, like citing someone should be released from prison on the grounds of something that translates as "pockets full of fish", but it has actual precedent in Ankh-Morpork law.note A man was thrown into a lake, but since he came out with his pockets filled with fish, the judge determined that the whole experience had been a net benefit and the thrower could not be prosecuted. This is a thematic reference to real-world legal examples known by funny names, such as the "fertile octogenarian", the "unborn widow", and the "magical gravel pit", all three being barely possible absurdities spawned by a technicality of inheritance law known as the "rule against perpetuities". In Night Watch, Slant also has the line: "Ave! duci novo, similis duci seneci" ("Meet the new boss, same as the elder boss"). Which he then jokingly repeats as: "Ave! Bossa nova, similis bossa seneca". Yeah, that's right: Dog Latatian. Jingo has him quote the doctrine of "acquiris quodcumque rapis" ("you get what you grab") in relation to the territorial dispute at the heart of the novel's plot. One of the books is titled Carpe Jugulum ("get the jugular" or "go for the throat") after the motto of a family of Vampires. In The Wee Free Men, the talking toad translates the Feegles' Pre-Asskicking One-Liners into Latatian legalese to defend them from spectral lawyers conjured by the Queen of the Elves (entering a plea of vis-ne faciem capite repletam, "would you like a face full of head?" and citing potest-ne mater tua suere, amice, "can your mother sew, pal?note A traditional Scottish prelude to an act of violence, usually concluded by the words "Then tell her tae stitch that!"") In I Shall Wear Midnight, a certain village uses the book Magavenatio Obtusis, or "Witch-Hunting For Dumb People". Of course, the book was actually written by Miss Tick, a witch. In Small Gods, Koomi of Smale's work of heretical theology Ego Video Liber Deorum is translated in a footnote as Gods: A Spotter's Guide, but the real joke is that a more direct translation would be I-Spy Book of Gods.

In "Contrabando" ("Smuggling"), Mortadelo disguises as a fly, and an entomologist captures him and tries to pin him on a board, classifying him as a Moscardus Cabezonus ("Botflyus Bigheadus").

Canis Latinicus / int_4d30cecb	comment	Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner: Most cartoons introduce the pair with fake scientific names usually derived in this manner. Examples include Speedometrus Rapidus for the Road Runner, and Famishus Famishus for the Coyote. One cartoon even gave the Road Runner's "beep, beep" a scientific name ("beepus-beepus"). Tiny Toon Adventures had one short called "Love Stinks", which introduced Calamity Coyote as "Devius Coyotius", Little Beeper as "Expedious Birdius", and Fifi le Fume as "Sexius Skunkius". Amazing that the censors let that pass... Subverted in 2003's "The Whizzard of Ow" in which the actual binomial names were used: Canis latrans for the Coyote ("Noisy dog" — ironic when you realize Wile E. almost never speaks), Geococcyx californianus for the Road Runner ("Californian Cuckoo that runs on land"). The Bugs/Wile E. outing "Rabbit's Feat" has Wile E. in pursuit of the common western rabbit. "Rabbitus Idioticus Delicious...I believe that's the scientific term for it." (He's probably thinking of the desert cottontail rabbit, or Sylvilagus audubonii — but based on his accent, Bugs is probably an eastern cottontail, or Sylvilagus floridanus.) And in "Stop! Look! And Hasten!" Wile E.'s Burmese Tiger Trap catches a Burmese Tiger, Surprisibus! Surprisibus! (Actual scientific name: Panthera tigris.) Space Jam applies the gag to the Nerdlucks (who would become the Monstars), as when Bugs unveils a blueprint on them, below each one are the scientific names "Wormius Repulsus", "Newtus Grodius", "Dopus Elongatus", "Rotundus Tempermentus", and "Minimus Whinius".

Some of these were puns, particularly the Draco Comes Stabuli, the "constable" or "copper" dragon.note (The actual Latin translation of Comes Stabuli is "Count of the Stables".) Gazetteer 10: "The Orcs of Thar", gives scientific names for the various humanoid subspecies. Of note, Kobolds receive "Canus Minor" (before being adjusted to be lizard-like rodents), and Gnolls receive "Canus Erectus" (despite being based off hyenas.) The third edition undead manual, Libris Mortis, is a subversion (or a double subversion of good Latin). Most people assume it's supposed to mean Book of the Dead and gets it wrong — that would be Liber Mortis. On these grounds, much of the community calls it the "Book of Bad Latin". However, if you read the book's introduction, it turns out it's actually intended to mean From The Books of the Dead — for which it is actually quite correct. * Most Latin speakers would more naturally tend to include the word ex ("from"), but the ablative form libris implies that just fine, and the preposition is unnecessary.

This is still a Meaningful Name, as when the cowplant gets hungry, it eats Sims (i.e. it is a simnovore). laganum means cake, and (at least in The Sims 3) the cow plant produces a slice of cake to lure the Sims in.

Winchester tries to raise an objection of "Unum pilule acetylsalicylicus, tres in diem, post sebum." The JAG prosecutor is flummoxed by the term, having no idea what it means. The Judge does, however, and orders Winchester to translate. Sheepishly, he admits that he was objecting on the grounds of "Aspirin, three times a day." (According to IMDB, the actual Latin would be, "Unum pilula acidum acetylsalicylicus, tris in die, post cibum", and literally means "One tablet of aspirin, three times a day, after meals.") When Klinger is facing a court-martial for theft, Hawkeye and BJ arrive just before the JAG was about to render a guilty verdict with new evidence to exonerate Klinger.

The terminology is mostly based on actual Latin, but some loose-and-fast translation lead to some spells not meaning quite what the writers likely intended them to. For instance, a freezing breath spell, Aspiro Frigis, seems to mean something like "cold wind" — but frigis is actually the second-person singular form of frigere, "to fry" (the Latin term for "to freeze" is glaciare), leading the phrase to mean something like "I breathe, you fry" — rather ironically, given the spell's effects.

Then along came a discovery of a raptor-family dinosaur in Utah, every bit as big as the raptors in the movie and even bigger. It was dubbed Utahraptor spielbergi. Technically, the animal is now called Utahraptor ostrommaysorum. Another scientist, however, named a species of pterosaur (flying reptiles related to the dinosaurs) of the genus Coloborhynchus, "Coloborhynchus spielbergi", although its validity as a separate species of Coloborhynchus is currently under debate.

When she asks Fred what it means, he identifies it as an old Dog Latin joke — translated roughly as "Don't let the bastards grind you down" — and makes reference to a couple of other similar jokes. Of course, the meaning is far from a joke to Offred.

"Liberi" is a nominative plural noun meaning "children", which they got right. "Fatali" is a singular dative/ablative adjective whose root is "fatalis," or "fated," and while the word is right, the case and number are wrong, the proper phrase should be "Liberi Fatales" or "Liberi Fati."

Others are faux-Latin, such as "Jhiaxus" and "Rodimus Prime". The name "Jhiaxus" was originally a stealth gag. When writer Simon Furman was tasked to write the Transformers: Generation 2 comic book, he suspected (rightly) that the series would be canceled shortly due to unrealistic sales expectations. He therefore named the main Decepticon Big Bad after the pun "Gee, axe us!" The reveal that The Fallen's canon name is "Megatronus Prime" suggests that this trend will continue in the future.

The Other Wiki quotes the Quarterly Review as being the first to insist on calling it aluminium, "in preference to aluminum, which has a less classical sound." But "aluminum" had already taken off in some circles, and today it keeps us Separated by a Common Language. The spelling "aluminium" was made standard by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (which is the international body for, well, chemistry) in exchange for accepting the American spelling "sulfur" as opposed to the British "sulphur".

Canis Latinicus / int_fdf7a632	comment	Vampire: The Requiem The game features some odd Latin. "Lancea Sanctum"? "Ordo Dracul"? You can kind of tell they stuck random inflections (or no inflections, as the case may be) to words. Requiem in Rome puts a small Retcon on the former — in the Roman Empire, the Lancea Sanctum were Lancea et Sanctum, but time and non-Latin-speaking vampires eventually warped the words. Except "Lancea et Sanctum" is even stranger, as they're supposed to be the order of Longinus' sacred spear — that is, his lancea sancta. Lancea et Sanctum literally means "the lance/spear and the holy thing". Interestingly, in the German version of the game, the name of the Lancea Sancta is spelled correctly, ie Lancea Sancta. So no need for a justification. This could be due to the fact that Latin classes are still quite common in German High Schools so chances are high that one of the translators knew his Latin. "Ordo Dracul" is stranger still: Dracul is not Latin, but Romanian for "the dragon" or "the devil"; the -ul ending translates as the article "the". Given that the Ordo Dracul is named after "Dracula" (a Romanian vampire), despite most of them in this day and age not really caring about him, the Latin+Romanian nature of the Covenant's name makes a little more sense.
